Description

I think I have found a bug in the implementation of the NetworkClientSecure::setCACertBundle function. The bundle is passed as const uint8_t* and then sizeof is called on that argument inside the function. This will not return the size of the array but the size of the pointer passed into the function. It is then used in a call to esp_crt_bundle_set. When the library gets to the point of validating a certificate the following error is output:

esp-x509-crt-bundle: Invalid certificate bundle

This is because the proper bundle size is not being used. If I modify the function to accept a size parameter similar to how loadCertificate and loadPrivateKey do and then pass that size to the call to esp_crt_bundle_set function I am able to get a proper certificate validation.

This should also allow us to get around the stated limitation in the documentation that certificate bundles will not work in the Arduino IDE natively. I believe it would be possible to include a .S cert bundle or even construct one in C++ as a raw uint8_t array.

Sketch

Any sample using NetworkClientSecure will exhibit this issue if you call setCACertBundle

Debug Message

E (12665) esp-x509-crt-bundle: Invalid certificate bundle
